52n WPS
The 52N Web Processing Service enables the deployment of geo-processes on the web. It features a pluggable architecture for processes and data encodings. The implementation is based on the current OpenGIS specification: 05-007r7 .
This implementation was mainly built within the ITC Generalization group and supported by the DURP project . Its focus was the creation of an extensible framework to provide algorithms for generalization on the web.
Current features
- Full java-based Open Source implementation.
- Supports all features of WPS specification version 1.0.0 (document 05-007r7)
- Pluggable framework for algorithms and XML data handling and processing frameworks
- Build up on robust libraries (JTS, geotools, xmlBeans, servlet API, derby)
- Supports all mandatory operations of WPS 1.0.0 (plus beta SOAP/WSDL support)
- Supports full logging of service activity
- Supports exception handling according to the spec
- Basic client implementation for accessing the WPS (including the complete XML encoding)
- Plug-in for uDig and JUMP (Java Unified Mapping Platform) (fast hack, but give it a try)
- Storing of execution results
- Full GML2 support for ComplexData (i.e. FeatureCollections)
- Beta Raster support based on GDAL
- Asynchronous processing
- Raw data support
- All responses are stored on the filesystem, but can also be stored in any database such as Apache derby
- Full maven support
- Supports HTTP-GET for Execute
Future issues
- Web GUI to maintain the service
- Full Raster Support
